I'm not really following your logic here. The universe definition in the STATcompiler does not tell you which dataset was used. It tells you who is included in the denominator of the indicator - in this case Children. Children are anyone under the age of 18 who is alive. The dataset used for this indicator is the Household Members file (or Person's Recode). Births would be incorrect as that dataset is only for children of women interviewed and includes dead children.
